lojal representatives of the railway com
panies sad against the Controllers office.
oalcss ■;.■ change in administration has
worked a change in the attitude of the Cor
poration Counsel's office.
METZS FINAL REPORT.
In his final stand upon this question for
mer Controller Metr. submitted a final re
port Blade to him by his engineers on De
cember 4 last. In which th^ attitude of the
Controller's office was outlined. This re
port summarizes the situation as follows :
Under the grade crossing act the city i»
liable for one-half the cost, up to not ex
ceeding 52J/M,'i*j. of tne amount required to
:rsk' the changes necessary to the existing
right of way and tracks of the railroads
rs then operated, to abolish present cross
lass at grade where existing, and. by an
amendment, half the additional cost of
orosiing unopened streets. The act fur
ther enjoins against the charging to the
city's account for this work any costs of
tettermente, whether provided lor in the
act or not.
As planned and progressing, with the ad
vi>%e and approval of the Corporation Coun
sel, a gigantic grade betterment scheme
has teen evolved, whereby this one track
.in part) and two track railroad, with for
merly prohibitive grades, shall emerge a
low Vrade trunk line, operating from two
to four tracks, the grading and bridges
if>T which are to be half paid for by the
city, to an extent limited only by the old
property width and the railroad companies'
d*-sires.* without regard to the original, ex
isting trackage.
Not only this, but at the west end of the
work on the Bay Ridge branch, where city
swns are now carried by sufficient bridges
over the formerly inadequate railroad as to
trackage and grades, where no grade cross
ings exist to be abolished, these bridges
are to be dismantled, and the city is to
.-hare the«ostof new ones at a lower level
.-»nd of a greater span, to accommodate the
•jeary cutting here contemplated for grade
reduction and additional trackage.
These facts, and others pertinent to other
violations, have been" repeatedly and ener
getically called by you to the attention- of
thfi Corporation Counsel, as remotely as
Juno 34. IStoS, and as recently as August 27,
]<*?. through three legal administrations.
.Subsequent to September 17. ■_ 1908, the
vouchers certified iv the Grade Crossing
Commission to you tor payment have been
h^ld with your approval pending an ex
r-rotrd revision ■• opinion, until now some
have accumulated, aggregating a
rUy charge of 5225,0 ».
In ray opinion, a proper recognition of
th<! betterment exclusion feature of the
original law. as accepted by. the parties
im-oived and rasped, will Pee the existing
rrade crossings of the then operated rail
roads abolished at an aggregate expense
against the joint account that will permit
:h«r city's retention of at least 5750,000 in
Its treasury below its legal obligation of
S2.VX'.'X»>. which latter is separate and apart
from that allowable for crossing unopened
M.r*-ets.
Thft railroad companies argue that all
moneys will be used up, and that . they
must pay large excesses out of their own
pockets, t True, at the present rate, with
• r ' improvements under way, but the com
panies are paying large gums out of their
«nn pockets elsewhere to attain crossing
snd jrrade elimination. In Chicago a vast
«-rossir:ir and grade elimination work is in
progress, almost entire!).- at the expense
of the railroads, with no grade betterments
eppurtenant. The only way the full city
allowance can be utilized is by interpreting
the law to permit betterment inclusion.
A reiteration of the previous opinions, in
♦he iaps« of three yean,' protest on your
ran. would virtually amount to the pup
plaating of the present law with a new
in?, excising from the former those (eat
ures that were protective of the city
fi?ainst reasonable exaction.
Coder the conditions, while there may
?«* mtich equity In the certificates now held.
this is of Indeterminate extent. The fact
i % .at tills work is still progressing along
th« old lines in the face of your repeated
objections, that certificates are being for
warded for payment, appears to tend to
weaken tii* city's case. I would not rec
••rnmend the payment of any part of tho
< i *-niiica'.'»s held, for the earn* reasons.
The iaw stand*- as yet not legally amend
ed. No c'ty official has the power to sup
r.'jint it with a new one, and this, virtually,
te what has been done.
MATTER LEFT TO COURTS.
On ember 2? lest Acting Corporation
Counsel Sterling, in an official communica
tion to the Controller, declared that no
f')rt!:cr opinion would be given by that
department^ but that the matter would be
!<-ft to be determined by the courts. This
communication, in part, reads:
After, consultation between yourself, Mr.
lioekin, representing - the railroad com
panies, and Mr. - • ling, of this depart
meoti it - a im best that no formal opinion
Should bo forwarded to you at the. present
time. It vas practically decided by you
that you would not pay any part of the

money claimed to be due from the city to
the railroad companies, whatever the opin
ion of the Corporation Counsel might be.
having been informed by your engineers
that a taxpayer's action would be brought
to restrain any such contemplated pay
ment.
The railroad companies intend, as I am
informed, to bring a proceeding to compel
the payment of the money. It seems bet
ter, therefore, that the question should be
left to be determined In such litigation, and
that neither yourself nor this department
should be embarrassed by a formal written
opinion upon the .subject. No further
opinion will therefore be forwarded in the
present situation, and the matter vill bo
left to b<; determined by the courts.
MANY BIBLES SMUGGLED.
Hundreds of Volumes Taken Into Tibet
by Native Agents.
Through colporteur?* or native agent? of
the British and American Kible societies
hundreds of Bibles have beon smuggled
into Tibet in the last few months, so offi
cers of tlio Bible Society here have been
recently Informed. It is Impossible to get
the Scriptures into that country- In any
othf-r manner. As all the upper dames
in Tibet read and write the Chinese lan
guage, the Bibles have been printed in that
tongue at Simla, India. The progress made
in the distribution of these Chinese Bibles
bears out the expectations of some of the
officers of the American Bible Society In
this city, for right on the Tibetan border
great progress has been mado in the con
version of many members of the Miao
tribesmen, an aboriginal Chinese people.
Among the donations received by the so
ciety for its $r>oo.ooo endowment fund was
one from the Miao tribesmen. It was 1.77
taels fftO cents), ami represented the re
ceipts of two meetings.
In the la^t year, among this tribe alone,
there have been 2,500 conversions. There
are tsi colporteurs in China, and out of
5r<4,9;.2 Bibles? distributed in that vast
country In 1908, 46^.471 were circulated by
these native agents. In this way it lias
been possible to reach every section of the
empire, and it is now through their efforts
that the Bible is bring smuggled into Tibet
in such numbers.
CLASS TOR BOY AERONAUTS.
Y. M. C. A. Branch Will Teach the
Young Idea How to Fly.
A*»ronaur° for the future will b<* trained
at the West Side Young Men's Christian
Association, No. 318 West 57th street, Jn a
special course in aeronautics for hoys. This
course is an outgrowth of the class' estab
lished in October, which grew so rapidly
and embraced euch a large variety of all
apes that it was decided to make a special
diviMon for the boys.
Youngsters will be encouraged to make;
their own aeroplanes, which will be criti
cised by the instructor, and their good and
lad features pointed out. Th«-n, nt the
regular Saturday afternoon contests of
modH aeroplanes, the lads can see how
their individual ideas work out In open
competition with machines made by other
boys. The ixi\ s" class will commence about
the middle of this month.
PETTICOAT MAKERS ORGANIZED.
It was reported yesterday l.y the organ
izers of tbe Petticoat Makers' Union, which
was formed a short time ago as a result of
new subdivisions of the garment making
'rade.s that the union had effected a per
manent organization. Headquarters have
been established at No. IG3 Eldridge street.
where i' i^ planned to hold the lirst annual

NEGRO FRESH AIR CONFERENCE.
A conference on negro fresh air and can-
VSjleseent work will be held to-night in the
assembly hall of th<^ I'niteti Charities
Building, No. 105 East 22d street. Several
New York and Brooklyn organizations will
take part in the conference. Dr. J. B
Devins, of the Tribune Fresh Air Fund,
will preside.
NEW-YORK DAILY TRirTUNE, MOTOjTSf, JANUARY 10, 191^
MONORAIL CAR HERE.
German Inventors to Display
It in Brooklyn.
The newest thing to travel on a track
will be exhibited at the Clermont Avenue
Rink, in Brooklyn. this mornlng-a
model car of a monorail train. It has been
imported from Germany. The things prom
ised by the inventors are most promising
indeed. An earthquake might disturb Its
equilibrium for a negligible period of time,
but it would have to be a persistent earth
quake to dislocate the running time of the
transcontinental monorail train— when such
trains get to running.
Richard Scherl. son of August Scherl. of
Berlin, is one of the inventors, and he, with
Paul FroeJich, another of the inventors,
from Charlottenburg, Germany, Is now In
town. Hart O. Berg and N. M. Rodkln
son, business associates of these men. are
also here. The model is expected to prove
to American engineers that a monorail
fain is entirely practicable; that a speed of
120 miles an hour is easy; that the cost
of construction and operation is less than
In the double track system, and that the
comfort of the passengers is increased and
their safety assured to a surprising degr<'*»
Through the gyroscopic apparatus the
c:rs are always so balanced, say the in
ventors, that pressure or wind, passengers
moving forward or backward, baggage
heaped upon one spot, and so forth, cannot
disturb the car. The cars, they say, will
take :my curve at any velocity without the
slightest danger. Interruption of the gy
roscopes sufficient to be dangerous is f>aid
to bo impossible.
WILSON FOR SHORT BALLOT.
Princeton President Calls Conference
on Election Reform.
Believers in the simplification of elec
tions have be»n invited by Dr. TVoodrow
Wilson, president of Princeton University,
to attend a conference, at the Hotel Astor
on January 21 to discuss the short ballot
principle arid to plan an organization for
promoting it. Tlio short ballot idea has
recently received considerable support
from I.>r. Eliot, of Harvard, and Governor
Hughes, while the National Municipal
League and the American Political Science
Association have also advocated its adop
tion.
In effect, the short ballot Idea plans to
take from tlio ballot all tho minor oftV^s.
leaving them appointive positions, and
thus making only a few offices for the
voter to mark. In discussing his plans
Dr. Wilson said:
"It is plain that the. way of reform lies
in the direction of simplification: I be
lieve that the short ballot is the key to
the whole question of the restoration of
government by the people."
The call for the conference, which will
be preceded by a dinner, is signed by the
following persons, in addition to Dr. Wil-
Kon: Lawrence F. Abbot, Richard S,
Childs, Norman Hnpgood, Henry Jones
Ford. Horace E. Deming and Clinton
Rogers Woodruff. Inquiries are referred
to the office, of the Short Ballot Organiza
tion, No. 127 Duane street.
WASHINGTON HULL MEMORIAL.

the Brooklyn architect who was lost with
hie yacht somewhere off Rocfcaway tJeach,
Long Island, was held at 4 o'clock yester
day afternoon in his late homo, No. 154
S"uth Portland avenue, Brooklyn. Tho
family believes that Mr. Hull was drowned
on November 3, last year, but his body has
not been recovered. His boat and the body
of ;i sailor who was with him, however,
were round near Belle Harbor about a
month ago. There were no flowers at yes
terday's serivces, and an effort was made
to avoid the appearance, of a funeral as
much as possible;
BIG MISSIOfi PLAN:
JTAXT LAYMEN'S AID.
City's Part in World Evangel
ixation Begins This Week.
To enlist the business men of New York
in the cause of missions, to ■ win their in
terest,. co-operation and financial support,
the Laymen's Missionary Movement, with
all. tho, precision of an army on tho ad
vance, will make an assault on Manhattan
this ' Week. Operations are now belni; con
ducted in " Brooklyn Missionary ! services
were held in many churches yesterday, and
on Saturday ■, night a dinner was -served to
eight hundred business men in the Masonic
Temple.
The object of the campaign is the evan
gelization of the .world in this generation.
By this Is not meant the conversion of the
world -to "Christianity, but the giving to
every man an opportunity to become, a
Christian If ho bo -desires. The idea is- to
have the men of the Church assume their
share of the responsibility of spreading the
Gospel.
The greater New York campaign tfl part
of a national campaiKn extending from tlie
Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. During UM
■winter and .sprinp seventy-five conventions
will be hold in the principal cities of the
United States. Eighteen of these conven
tions 2iave iil ready been held.
The attendance has been nearly twenty
thousand registered delegates. Thousands
of visitors have attended th<; various ses
sions. As a result, the men of the cities
where the conventions have been held have,
decided upon increases In their offerings
for foreign mtaittnna. varying from 6C to CuO
per cent.
The movement, however, does not receive
any money for rninsions, nor does it send
out missionaries. Its work is "educational
and Inspirational and not administrative."
It Btrives to arouse the laymen to work
through their respective churches. All the
Protestant churches of the country are co
operating in the movement. This co-oper
ation will be one of the features of the
New York campaign.

SOCIALISTS HOLD CONVENTION.
Delegates from Five Boroughs Plan for
Coming Campaigns.
A general convention railed by the New
York local of the Socialist party, which was
attended by delegates from all its branches
In the five boroughs of the city, was held
/till I flay at the Labor Temple. No. 243
East 84th street, to di?cu?s plans for new
campaign methods. It has been for many
years the custom of the local to conduct
Its campaigns through the Assembly dt.
trlcts, but it was thought tliat a better sys
tem could be settled on by which co-opera
tion with the different branches would be
easier.
A plan which most of the delegate
favored yesterday was to redlstrict the city
during political campalgnn into campaign
districts, each district to contain several
Assembly districts. Committees were ap
pointed to draft details of thi* and other
plans, which will be submitted for action at
another convention to be held in * few
days.
